SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick – Mariner is among Atlantic Canada’s best companies to work for, says a closely watched annual survey by Progress Magazine. The magazine uses an extensive screening process conducted by Best Companies Group, to compare employment conditions at hundreds of companies throughout Atlantic Canada. The results are eagerly awaited annually by employees and employers alike.
Each finalist is evaluated based on detailed data about each company, as well as a comprehensive feedback survey from the employees of that company.
“We are thrilled to be in the Top 20”, said Curtis Howe, President and CEO. “At Mariner, we recognize that our success is fueled by talented and motivated people. The fact that this award is driven by our employees’ opinions about their quality of life at Mariner makes it an even greater honor. This ranking is an exciting proof of our leadership in innovation and commitment to our employees.”
Mariner provides annual career-development planning for all employees with special emphasis on developing leadership in innovation and new business development. The company also offers flexible work arrangements such as telecommuting and working alternate days or weeks. Employees are eligible for an annual bonus of up to 10% of their salary based equally on their personal and overall corporate performance. Where corporate communications may be challenged by the diversity of business opportunities, Mariner excels in maintaining opened lines of communications and making employees’ opinions count.
Mariner has also been recognized as Top 20 Movers and Shakers in 2008 and Top 25 ‘IT’ Up and Comers in 2007 by the Branham Group. In 2006, the Saint John Board of Trade awarded Mariner its Entrepreneurial Achievement Award. “It’s all coming together for Mariner, this latest achievement being attributed completely to Mariner 100+ employees and associates, emphasizes Curtis Howe. This confirms that we are successfully servicing both our external and our ‘internal’ customers – this really is an exciting testimonial to the passion that our employees feel about their commitment to our innovation agenda.”
